THE UNKNOWN.

It may be remembered that Friday, May
18th, an unknown man died at the Greening
house on North Main. His body was taken
in charge by Mr.. Kendall and at his own ex-
pense and without expectation of reward, his
remains were embalmed and placed in his
undertaking establishment. Yesterday fore
noon two men, Thomas Simonds and George
Maxwell, keeper Of boarding house COS Oak
street, came into the Office and asked to see
the remains. AS they were in an
excellent, state OF preservation the
men Immediately recognized in the uu-
known an Englishman named Montague
Baber who had boarded with MI. Maxwell.
The deceased had left with the latter a
satchel as security for the payment of his
board and this was produced and his posses
sions examined to see if anything by which
he could be further identified could be found.
Besides several good suits Of clothes and
articles Of toilet were found
a common prayer book with his own name
that of the donor and also number Of let
tiers mostly from his wife.
These letters bore evidence Of having been
written by a woman of culture and refine
ment, and throughout showed the most ten
der womanly affection and love. The pic
ture of the writer, a fine looking lady, was
also among the collection. 1t appeared that
the deceased was once well-to-do
farmer from near Bristol, England. He
had evidently started out after his
financial reverse in England to find in the
new world new home for his family; as
the valise contained highly recommendatory
letters from hesyicar of the parish and sew
eral citizens Of the same. He has taken out
naturalization papers in Dakota county,
Nebraska, and was making preparations for
bringing his wife and seven children to this
state-even having been in correspondence
with steamship agents.
Yet death came and puts an end to all his
plans; unknown he dies in a strange land,
ana, far from wife and children will bis
grave be made and his remains given their
final resting place.

CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES.

Every one who wishes to see first class
game of baseball should not fail to see the
three games today, tomorrow and Thursday
between the Emporia and our champion
Wichita's, who will struggle for the State
championship. These games viii be the
the most hotly contested games ever played
in the West, Emporia was confident OF WIN
ing all of the games at home last week, but
luck was against her, as she underestimated
Wichita's ability. The result Of those games
made Emporla people feel very sore and the
management has since strengthened the club
in several points and any one who thinks the
Wichita's can win without the hardest kind
Of work is likely to be mistaken. Although
the home team is quite confident, each man
recognizes that he will have to ''play ball, !"
to win and the height of Emporia's ambition
will be to win the first game from Wichlta
ON her own grounds. If she does she will
earn it. The grounds are in excellent con-

finest west of st. Louis, will not be up for a
week owing to scarcity of material 1t will
seat nearly 1900 persons.
The management have decided TO make a
feature of Ladies' Day, and will give matt
nee day each week, admitting ladies free up
on that day. Today Tuesday will be matt.
nee day this week, and it is expected that a
large number Of ladies will grace the occasion
with their presence, thus evincing proper
appreciation Of the courtesy extended tc
them by the association. Another commend
able feature is that no extra charge is to be
made for vehicles during the season.
The admission is only % cents
and score cards can be pro
cured for five cents extra on the grounds
The home team will present the following

LAYING OF THE CORNERSTONE G
BROWN MEMORIAL REFORMED
CHURCH.

Sunday evening at o'clock large audience
assembled at the corner of Topeka avenue
and Lewis streets to witness and participate
in the ceremonies of laying the corner stone
of church edifice for the Reformed Congre-
CATION Of this city.
Rev. j. w. Love, the pastor, conducted
the service, assisted by Rev. d. B. Shuey, Of
Emporia.
The site of this new church is a very desir-
able one, being in pleasant part OF the city,
adjacent to the homes Of some of our best
citizens. The lot Is surrounded by fine shade
trees and is 10Cx140 feet. The walls of the
basement story are now up, built OF Towan-
da stone by Mr.. Ed. Strott, late Of cclena,
illinois, now of this city, who has done his
part of the work in first-class manner. The
first story will be used for lecture rooms,
Sunday school class rooms, etc.: :The sec
ond story will be Of brick and contain the
auditorium proper. The cost of the church
complete will be about $4,000. 1t will be
conmodious, handsome structure.
The Reformed Congregation OF this city
was organized by Rev. T. G.. Brown, in the
spring of 1884 He died in the spring of 1885,
when about to purchase site and erect a
church. For a year and half the little
flock was without a pastor. Rev
q. B. Shuey, of Emporia, superintendent OF
missions, preached for them as supply from
October 1885 to October 1885 when Rev. j.
W. Love was called, and appointed to the
pastorate by the Eastern Board of Missions
He entered upon his ministerial and pastoral
work last October. As result of his labors
the congregation has been steadily growing
in numbers; the site for the church has been
purchased, and all told, nearly $1,000 has
been raised to pay for the lots and build the
church. About $500 will yet be needed,
and an effort will be made to raise it in the
near future.
The prospects of the congregation are very
encouraging fer its further growth and use
fitness.
Among the articles placed in the corner
stone were: The catecism, constitution,
hymn book, church papers, Sunday school
papers. of the Reformed church, city daily
papers, history of the church and congrega-
ton, list of names of the members, officers,
choir missionary society, Sunday school
teachers and scholars, also photographs OF
the pastors, namely Bros. 1. G. Brown, de-
ceased, D. B. Shuey and J. ". Love.
After the service at the new building the
congregation listened TO an able sermon by
Rev shuey, preached at the first ward school

ANNIVERSARY DAY AT DODGE AVENUI
CHURCH.

Preparatory to Children's Day service
Dodge avenue Presbyterian church was
handsomely decorated with flowers and ever
greens. The service was held last evening
with a crowded house. Superintendent Ash
ley WEIGH opened the school, after which he
announced Hon. R. E. Lawrence. The au-
dience learned, to their surprise, that the
school, which at this service showed the av-
erage number in scholarship, began one year
ago with mere handful. Its growth during
the past year astonished its teachers and in
fact every one. While every thing is de-
manding attention, yet the young folks are
not forgotten in their bible training
REGULATIONS were given by Mr..
Frank Kenyon. Miss Anna -Tollman,
Mr.. Charlie Lawrence, and dia-
logue by Nancy Hagerman and
Willie Hurd, all of which was well rendered
and as well appreciated by the expectant
hearers.
DR.. C. Humble then entertained the audi
ence with bit of history. The Moravian
church is the smallest Protestant church in
the Emitted States, and yet it was the first to
take up the cause of the children. The
Methodist church was the first to take their
part in this country. To-day every denom-
nation have established children's day and
observe it with great pleasure and much in
terest. The doctor told how a certain gen.
tleman had employed number OF small boys
and girls to work in his pin factory. de no.
ticod after q certain time the Improvement
in their behavior, the interest and increase
in their work. When he looked into the
matter he found they were attending the
Sunday school lately organized. To-day the
smartest minds in our land are devising
means to help the children in every possible
manner, and are using every good means at
their command to advance the cause OF the
children. May the good work go on. A re-
sponsivs reading had been distributed
through the audience, and after the doctors
speech the reading was rendered.
